FGCU Launches New Passport Program for Students
Fort Myers, FL – Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) has recently launched a new program called the FGCU Passport that aims to provide students with a unique opportunity to explore different global perspectives and engage in diverse cultural experiences.
The FGCU Passport program is designed to encourage students to step outside of their comfort zones and immerse themselves in new and exciting learning experiences. Through this program, students will have the opportunity to participate in study abroad programs, internships, research projects, and other experiential learning opportunities that will allow them to expand their horizons and gain a deeper understanding of the world around them.
One of the key objectives of the FGCU Passport program is to foster a sense of global citizenship among students, helping them to develop a greater awareness of the interconnectedness of the world and the importance of cultural diversity. By participating in this program, students will have the chance to learn about different cultures, languages, and customs, ultimately preparing them to be more effective and empathetic global citizens.
“We are thrilled to launch the FGCU Passport program and provide our students with the opportunity to engage in meaningful and transformative learning experiences,” said Dr. Mike Martin, President of FGCU. “We believe that this program will not only help our students to develop valuable skills and knowledge, but also to become more open-minded and culturally aware individuals.”
In addition to participating in study abroad programs and other experiential learning opportunities, students enrolled in the FGCU Passport program will also have access to a range of resources and support services to help them make the most of their experience. These include pre-departure orientations, language and cultural workshops, and financial aid assistance.
The FGCU Passport program is open to all students at FGCU, regardless of their major or academic background. To participate, students must complete a series of requirements, including attending a mandatory information session, meeting with an academic advisor, and submitting an application outlining their goals and objectives for participating in the program.
“We believe that the FGCU Passport program will provide our students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in today’s globalized world,” said Dr. Kathleen Davey, Director of the FGCU Passport program. “By participating in this program, students will have the opportunity to gain valuable international experience and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.”
Overall, the FGCU Passport program represents a unique and innovative approach to education, one that prioritizes experiential learning, cultural immersion, and global engagement. By participating in this program, students at FGCU will have the opportunity to broaden their horizons, expand their perspectives, and become more informed and engaged citizens of the world.
